Protein is an essential nutrient for those looking for a more defined physique. For muscle maintenance, individuals should increase their protein requirement from 0.8g of protein per kg of body mass per day (g/kgBM/d) to 1-2 g/kgBM/d.
The Benefits Of Protein
1. BUILD – Protein helps the development of lean muscle tissue.
2. RETENTION – Protein supports the maintenance of muscle tissue which is key when on a calorie restricted diet.
